STORYLINE

At a bachelorette party, Charlotte, 30, gets together with old friends she has not seen for a long time. The excitement of the party is marked with apprehension and undercurrents. Charlotte has a secret she has painstakingly kept to herself. Mouths stay shut like the oysters these women are busy opening. But as shells shatter and hands are torn, truth rises to the surface.
